Well, I LIKE this snowball quilt. I usually don't--the white contrast bothers me or something. Now I need to go look at others and see how this is different. Maybe the octagons? It's beautiful and can't wait for that issue to be available here!

I miss those times with the children now that mine are grown. I am hoping that soon I can start baking and crafting with my grandchildren but I am enjoying sewing a few gifts for them this year. Love the snowball quilt.

OK, I love this quilt, the colors, everything! and yes, I do so remember when my girls loved all the fun Christmas stuff…now they don't live by me and they are all grown up, if I do it, I do it alone! :l

I've made my daughter a log cabin quilt out of red/aqua...love that combo! Your quilt looks great. Good luck with your sanity! :) At least the time between TD/Christmas is shorter...less time to "lose" it. :)www.sewcraftychick.blogspot.com

It is different than the other snowball quilts which makes it unique and I really like this. And its not a pattern that is in the U.S. I love your Christmas fabric, much nicer than green and red. Thanks for sharing!

Denise you can find it at Barnes and Nobles in a little while....it comes out a few weeks later than in the UK so you'll still be able to find it at Joann's or Barnes and Noble in a couple of weeks. -Allison

Allison, I really like the colors of this quilt. I went in search of the poppy backing fabric and even contact Carina Gardner. She was kind enough to personally respond that the poppy backing fabric is actually that of Patty Young, Modkids, line done exclusively for JoAnn fabrics. It is the Rendezvous line. I just wanted to share that I really enjoy your quilt projects and to share the info I found out about the fabric.

Allison…. Happy New Year! Do you have any clue where I can purchase issue 2 of this mag? I just got my first issue and it's issue 3… I would really like to get the issue you worked on. I'm having a problem finding it.
